I have been doing art the last month. I just got lost in terms of what I did when and tracking all that, which I do more for me than anyone else to track progress and such. Hopefully, I'll get some kind of record together today or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I'm working on this for the hubs @f. At his request. I have not used animal fur brushes in Procreate before and I have almost zero experience in creating my own weird imaginary creatures, so this should be interesting. I do not promise good! LOL

Birthday cake!

The big cake is blueberry cheesecake. The slices are strawberry cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake. The bakery made a mistake - that slice of blueberry cheesecake was supposed to be a slice of chocolate fudge cake. Alas.

Happy birthday to me!

My birthday lunch was mee goreng. It was good, but not as good as the mee goreng we got at a hole-in-the-wall cafe in Johor Bahru, Malaysia a few blocks from where we lived in 2014-2015. From what I recall, it cost us around USD 2 or 3, so cheap, too. And so so good.

Photo taken a few years ago in Valencia, Spain. No idea what kind of tree this is, although Siri labels it as either a chinaberry tree or poison hemlock, which is not a tree, so I'm guessing chinaberry tree is likely the correct one.

2023-01-08 day 209 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. This time, featuring a digital watercolour painting. She gets the canvas effect with a canvas brush on the top layer.

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. This time, featuring digital acrylic painting. She gets the canvas effect with a canvas brush on the top layer.

I have a particular photo I want to use these techniques on - a sunset over the Pyrénées Mountains.

Mediterranean Window
2023-01-06 day 207 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. I'm really enjoying doing her tutorials. She uses interesting techniques and I learn a lot.

I went a bit off the rails with the flowers. 🤣 If this were my window, I would want a LOT more flowers, so I gave the painting what I would want. I don't think it was too overboard… 😀

2023-01-04/05 day 205/206 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

This is a Tatyworks tutorial. Taty's tutorials teach me something new every time, and today, it's a gouache painting.

2022-12-21/22 day 201/202 of doing art every day for a year.

This is another Tatyworks tutorials. Taty's tutorials teach ways of doing digital art with a variety of styles, so it's fun and interesting for me.

Outside Christmas Tree

2022-12-20 day 200 of doing art every day for a year. Woohooooo! 200 days!

(We're going to completely ignore the lack of any obvious power supply for those Christmas tree lights.)

This is another James Julier tutorial. His tutorials are reliably good and well worth doing if you want to get a handle on this type of digital art.

Also, this is the end of the Christmas themed pieces for 2022, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Neon Christmas Tree

2022-12-18 day 198 of doing art every day for a year.

#Procreate #ProcreateArt #DigitalArt #WomensArt #WomenArtists #ArtistsOnMastodon

Today's tutorial is for a neon sign of a Christmas tree in front of a brick wall. The tutorial was good, as usual. And, as usual, I went a bit off-script. Can't quite seem to help myself sometimes.

Easter Cutout
2022-12-17 day 197 of doing art every day for a year.

So yes, I am fully aware this is completely out of season. Alas and alack. I wanted to do a cutout, and this seemed like a good tutorial to follow. And it was.

Christmas Cutout
2022-12-16 day 196 of doing art every day for a year.

I got behind on posting updates, then I got sick - again - so now I'm really behind on posting. I'll get caught up as quickly as I can.

Meanwhile, here's a now-out-of-season Christmas tree that was rather timely at the time.

As for technique, I followed the tutorial a bit, then went totally rogue. 🤣

I was finally almost almost asleep *cough* *cough* *hacks up lung* when this happened. It was loud. The husband slept through it, of course. I wish I had. Alas. #FireWorks #OhToSleep #PerchanceToDream
